Obama's 17 Year Plan

It Takes a Plan

During Senator Barack Obama's 12 years in the Illinois Senate he received 
nearly THREE times more campaign cash from the indicted and convicted 
businessman Tony Rezko and associates than he publicly acknowledged - which is 
par for the course for Barack Obama. The Liar-in-Chief has a long record of 
stretching the truth. The information was uncovered by the Chicago Sun Times 
(by reporters Chris Fusco and Tim Novak). This information was not widely known 
outside of Chicago. No one was willing to tell the whole truth about Obama or 
his Syrian friend Rezko nor were they forthcoming about his other ties to Arab 
money and influence. What happened next? He won by hook and by crook in the 
caucuses and the chicanery of ACORN which found no lie to small to tell for 
Barack Hussein Obama. It has all be covered before so it doesn't need a rehash 
here.

Think about those tenants in the Englewood government subsidized housing on 
Chicago's South Side just four years after slum landlords Tony Rezko and his 
partner, Daniel Mahru rehabilitated the 31 buildings financed by Chicago 
taxpayers. It is 1997 and it is an absolute brutal winter. It is bone chilling 
cold. They are shivering without heat in their apartments because it doesn't 
work.

Rezko and Mahru let them freeze. When Obama is asked about his friend's 
apartments and why Rezko and partner would not turn the heat back on, he says 
he does not remember. Eleven of Rezko's buildings in disrepair and distress 
were in Obama's state Senate district. (Sun-Times/AP)

These are not Rezmar Corp's only low income projects - which fell into 
disrepair in spite of government funding. And Obama should have known more than 
he did since he was also the recipient of campaign cash from Rezko. Barack 
Obama was a newly elected state senator and his district included the unheated 
building. Rezko, who has been friends with Obama for 17 years (they didn't just 
meet), contributed to Barack Obama and later made it possible for Obama to 
purchase a larger lot with his $1.6 million mansion.

Obama worked for the Davis Miner law firm which represented Rezko helping him 
to get millions of dollars from the government for his buildings. Rezko hosted 
fund raisers in his home for Obama and other patrons, including Gov. 
Blagojevich - from whom he demanded kickbacks. So what did he want and get from 
Obama in return for his favors. Did Obama simply look the other way since 11 of 
these buildings were in Obama's district?

Rezko, who received government funding for his low income housing, in need of 
repairs and unheated, and today Rezko is an indicted political fund raiser who 
since this week is sitting in jail. He has been indicted for allegedly 
demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business under Governor 
Blagojevich.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported: "Obama, who has worked as a lawyer and a 
legislator to improve living conditions for the poor, took campaign donations 
from Rezko even as Rezko's low-income housing empire was collapsing, leaving 
many African-American families in buildings riddled with problems -- including 
squalid living conditions, vacant apartments, lack of heat, squatters and drug 
dealers." (Tim Novak, Chicago Sun Times - "Obama and his Rezko ties" - April 
23, 2007)

"The building in Englewood was one of 30 Rezmar rehabbed in a series of 
troubled deals largely financed by taxpayers. Every project ran into financial 
difficulty. More than half went into foreclosure, a Chicago Sun-Times 
investigation has found." (Novak)

As pointed out in the investigative report, a former city official, said: 
"Their buildings were falling apart. They just didn't pay attention to the 
condition of these buildings." (Novak)

There is also the not so small matter of the $1.6 million dollar mansion.

"Much of the criticism has centered on two real estate deals involving Obama's 
South Side mansion. In the first, Obama paid $300,000 less than the asking 
price for a doctor's home, while Rezko's wife paid the doctor full price for 
the vacant lot next door. Then -- a few months before Rezko was indicted -- 
Obama bought part of that lot from Rezko's wife." (Novak)

"But Obama's ties with Rezko go beyond those two real estate sales and the 
political support, the Sun-Times found. Obama was an attorney with a small 
Chicago law firm -- Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland -- that helped Rezmar get 
more than $43 million in government funding to rehab 15 of their 30 apartment 
buildings for the poor." (Novak)

"Rezko and Mahru had no construction experience when they created Rezmar in 
1989 to rehabilitate apartments for the poor under the Daley administration. 
Between 1989 and 1998, Rezmar made deals to rehab 30 buildings, a total of 
1,025 apartments. The last 15 buildings involved Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland 
during Obama's time with the firm." (Novak)

"Rezko and Mahru also managed the buildings, which were supposed to provide 
homes for poor people for 30 years. Every one of the projects ran into trouble: 
... Seventeen buildings -- many beset with code violations, including a lack of 
heat -- ended up in foreclosure. ...Six buildings are currently boarded up.. 
..Hundreds of the apartments are vacant, in need of major repairs. ...Taxpayers 
have been stuck with millions in unpaid loans. ...At least a dozen times, the 
city of Chicago sued Rezmar for failure to heat buildings." (Novak)

Obama's campaign staff now acknowledges that Obama did indeed work on these 
where previously Barack Obama denied much of an involvement - and in his debate 
with Hillary when she accused him of representing Rezko, Obama said, he only 
billed Rezko for 5 hours of work. Well, of course he did. He had to show 
something, didn't he. After all, the consideration was far more than five hours 
worth of legal work. There was the little matter of the million dollar mansion 
and the extra lot and the campaign contributions and private parties. Hillary 
is playing the game, but she knows he lied.

What do lawyers do? They lie. He doesn't remember. That is convenient but the 
truth is he doesn't have to remember. The facts can be checked and there is 
sufficient evidence to implicate obama in far more than a mere casual 
relationship with Rezko. YET, he came off clean as a whistle. If you don't find 
that sickening, nothing will turn your stomach. Obama appears to still be 
getting away with scamming all of us.

In fact the relationship goes back 17 years. "...Obama had just become the 
first black president of the Harvard Law Review. Newspapers wrote about him. 
One story caught the eye of David Brint, a vice president of Rezmar, a new 
company that had become the Daley administration's favored developer of 
low-income housing."

Obama was offered a job. He says he didn't take it. Instead he returned to 
Chicago and worked on a voter-registration drive in 1992. Then he was hired by 
the law firm which represented Rezko, Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, which 
specialized in government subsidies for low-income housing. Whether this was an 
arrangement worked out in advance, we don't know, but it does seem reasonable 
to assume it was. Otherwise, it was just too convenient that he should now be 
working for the firm which handed Rezko's work, which had offered Obama a job.

The Sun Times report says, "The firm's top partner, Allison S. Davis, was, and 
is, a member of the Chicago Plan Commission, appointed by Mayor Daley. Davis 
was also a friend of Rezko. Davis and Rezko would eventually go into business 
together, developing homes." (Novak)

It was also convenient that Judson Miner, the other law firm partner was the 
legal administrator for Chicago's Law Department under Mayor Harold Washington. 
When Novak asked Judson Miner for a list of the cases Obama worked on, he said 
he would provide them but never did. Is it surprising that he would not want 
to?

Meanwhile as Obama prepared for bigger and better things, it was necessary to 
build a persona which would be appropriate for an up and coming politician and 
to leave all the dark shadows outside and skeletons locked away in the closet. 
Getting that information is like getting reliable information on George W. 
Bush's time in the National Guard. In Obama's book(s) (there are two of them 
now), he tells about how he worked to improve conditions in poor neighborhoods. 
He doesn't mention those people who are freezing in Resko's slum housing.

In biographical information Obama submitted to the Sun-Times in 1998, he says 
he specialized "in civil rights litigation, real estate financing, acquisition, 
construction and/or redevelopment of low-and moderate income housing..." And 
along the way he amassed enough to buy that $1.6 million dollar mansion.

"Obama has collected at least $168,308 from Rezko and his circle. Obama also 
has taken in an unknown amount of money from people who attended fund-raising 
events hosted by Rezko since the mid-1990s."

"Tony was one of the biggest fund-raisers."

AND Rezko has helped to raised millions more. "Rezko was among the people Obama 
appointed to serve on his U.S. Senate campaign finance committee, the Sun-Times 
reported in 2003. The committee raised more than $14 million, according to 
Federal Election Commission records, helping send Obama to Washington in 2004." 
(Novak)

"...Obama bought a mansion on the South Side, in the Kenwood neighborhood, from 
a doctor. On the same day, Rezko's wife, Rita Rezko, bought the vacant lot next 
door from the same seller. The doctor had listed the properties for sale 
together. He sold the house to Obama for $300,000 below the asking price. The 
doctor got his asking price on the lot from Rezko's wife." (Novak)

     Does this really seem like a casual relationship to you? It would be far 
fetched to think so. - It looks a lot more like a plan. And this one has been 
in the making for 17 years.

Much of this was written before the election for all the good it did (I've 
updated some of it). See the TheCrypt for other articles. Read how the election 
was a charade. Obama didn't win anything. He was annointed by the left which is 
beginning to regret it - and over 96% of the blacks who wanted a different 
color in the oval office. They are also not seeing their hopes realized. The 
only change is more of the same. But we haven't seen anything yet. I dread the 
future. He is not what he claims to be. When the truth is finally told it may 
be too late to put things back and save us all.
